We love looking for ways to build key skills through play-and music play is no exception! One way to keep the magic alive throughout your holiday season is to enjoy your favorite holiday music together as a family! Play it in the car or at home for some good old-fashioned "dance party" fun. Print out the lyrics the whole family sings along together. This always puts everyone in the holiday spirit!

My husband can't stand Christmas music because he never had Christmas until he and I got married (Jewish, not neglect lol) But DD and I have regular dance parties to Glee music. She thinks it's great and dances all over the living room.

This morning the 12 year old was belting out "Santa Clause is Coming To Town" and she said, " making a wish, checking it twice", I was laughing so hard and she thought I was laughing at her singing, well that too, but I didn't want her to know, she'll figure out soon enough that she's not going to be the next star, I don't need to rain on her parade, and I do love her enthusiasm. I just told her I was happy that it was time for singing carols again, and that the correct words were "making a list", but that her version was a good one, too..
